More about the book
Set against the backdrop of 1960s Florida, the book delves into the clash between educators and the state’s power structure over funding for quality education. As the education system deteriorated due to low taxes, teachers, led by the Florida Education Association, initiated a statewide strike in 1968, involving 35,000 educators. This pivotal event challenged the status quo and exposed the systemic issues in Florida's education system. The strike lasted three weeks, leaving a lasting impact on the teacher union movement and the state's educational policies.
